Basset Hound (definite introduction)

Often we see dogs having shortness of breath when they are short of breath. They feel very tight and think there is something wrong with their body. In fact, sometimes we don’t need to worry, because this may be the normal breathing method of dogs. However, this situation often lasts for a short time. If the dog is like this for a long time, we need to pay attention to it. So let’s briefly talk about the causes of shortness of breath in dogs.

Shortness of breath in dogs under normal circumstances:The most common shortness of breath in dogs under normal circumstances is when the dog has just finished exercising. Or it’s a hot weather time. Everyone knows that dogs do not have sweat glands, only there are some sweat glands in the gaps between their paws, and more heat is dissipated from the dog's mouth through the tongue and breathing. After exercising and when the weather is hot, dogs take out the heat from their bodies by accelerating their breathing. Therefore, it is normal for us to see dogs panting when they have just finished running or in the summer. The shortness of breath is very smooth, there is no nasal and chest noise, and there is no manifestation of labored breathing or fatigue.

Shortness of breath in dogs caused by disease: Dogs suffering from some diseases can also cause shortness of breath, such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, etc. . The rapid panting of the dog at this time is different from the situation mentioned above. You will find that the dog is obviously short of breath and tired when panting, a bit like us being troublesome. There are also some diseases, such as fever, ascites, or disorders of the endoosmotic system such as diabetes, that can also cause shortness of breath in dogs.

Under normal circumstances, shortness of breath caused by disease is often accompanied by other symptoms. If it is caused by disease, then we can only solve the problem through adjustment.
